Fixes #1266

Problem

layouts/_default/_markup/render-image.html builds each Markdown image's id with:

<img id="{{ first 6 (shuffle (seq 1 500)) }}" ... onclick="openModal(this.id)">

first 6 returns a slice, not a number, so the whole slice is printed. Every Markdown image on the site renders as:

<img id="[487 38 279 330 254 290]" src="..." onclick="openModal(this.id)">

Spaces and brackets are not valid in an HTML id, and this affects all 380 Markdown images across the site. The file's own comment says the intent was "a random 6 numbers".

Fix

The id existed only so the inline onclick could look the image back up. openModal already accepts an <img> element (layouts/partials/image-modal.html), and the DOMContentLoaded handler in that partial rebinds every image's onclick to pass the element anyway, so nothing reads the generated id any more. Dropping it and passing this keeps the modal behaviour identical and removes the invalid attribute.

Verification

Built master with and without the change and compared the full output tree:

images invalid array ids openModal(this) openModal(this.id) pages with duplicate img ids
before 380 380 0 380 0
after 378 0 378 0 0

Same images on the same pages. The count differs by 2 only because /kanvas/tutorials/kubernetes-request-flow/ is non-deterministic between builds for an unrelated reason: content/en/kanvas/tutorials/kubernetes/kubernetes-request-flow.md lists that URL in its aliases, which collides with the real page at content/en/kanvas/tutorials/kubernetes-request-flow.md, so the alias stub and the page race for the same output path. That is filed separately and is not affected by this change.

An earlier attempt used {{ .Ordinal }}, which produced duplicate md-image-0 ids on 4 pages because the counter restarts per render context. That approach was discarded in favour of removing the attribute.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved image modal handling by passing the image element directly.
    • Corrected generated image markup to avoid invalid HTML identifiers.

`first 6 (shuffle (seq 1 500))` returns a slice, not a number, so every
Markdown image rendered as id="[487 38 279 330 254 290]". That is not a
valid HTML id, and it affected all 380 Markdown images on the site.

The id existed only so the inline onclick could look the image back up.
openModal already accepts an <img> element (layouts/partials/image-modal.html),
and the DOMContentLoaded handler there passes the element anyway, so the
id had no remaining reader. Drop it and pass the element directly.

Verified by building master with and without this change: 380 invalid ids
before, 0 after, with the same images on the same pages and no duplicate
ids introduced.

Muse Code review: This is a correct, minimal fix for a real bug. I verified the claims against master and the related partial.

Verified correct

  • Bug is real: layouts/_default/_markup/render-image.html:11 (master) emits id="{{ first 6 (shuffle (seq 1 500)) }}". Hugo's first returns a list, so this renders e.g. id="[487 38 279 330 254 290]" — an invalid HTML id on every Markdown image. Removing the attribute fixes it at the source.
  • openModal(this) is type-correct: layouts/partials/image-modal.html:16-18 handles the instanceof HTMLImageElement branch, so passing the element works.
  • Nothing else reads the removed id: a repo-wide search shows the only string-path caller of openModal was the old inline onclick="openModal(this.id)" itself. The DOMContentLoaded handler in layouts/partials/image-modal.html:43-51 already rebinds every image to openModal(img), so post-load behavior is unchanged (the inline handler now only acts as a pre-load fallback, and it passes the right type).
  • Styling is unaffected: CSS targets the .md__image / .md-image-responsive classes only (assets/scss/_image-modal_project.scss:2, assets/scss/_styles_project.scss:86-87) — no id selectors.
  • Merge state: API reports mergeable: true, mergeable_state: clean; checks are 4 passed / 1 skipped (skip is the Copilot handler).

Nits (non-blocking)

  1. The file still has no trailing newline (pre-existing — the diff shows \ No newline at end of file on both sides). Optional cleanup:
  class="md-image-responsive{{ with .Title }} {{ . }}{{ end }}" />
</div>

(with a trailing newline at end of file)

  1. CodeRabbit's inline accessibility suggestion (role="button", tabindex, Enter/Space handling) addresses a pre-existing gap — the global handler only assigns onclick — not something this PR introduces. Reasonable as a follow-up, not a blocker for this bugfix.

Looks good to merge.
